Page 52 of Her Ruthless Owner

And that's when I remember that night.

It was the night before Dad died, a night where he had come home unusually late—-a night that I had dreamt of a few weeks ago.

I remember sitting up and looking at my phone. Remember asking him—-

'Where have you been?'

I remember him sitting next to me on the couch.

'Sorry, Penny. I should've called. You didn't have to wait up for me.'

'You still haven't told me where you've been...'

'Grief support.'

'For real? You finally attended one?'

'Yeah. I think I even made a new friend. He lost someone because of his gambling addiction. Since then, he's never stepped inside another casino, and everywhere he goes, he's got this die in his pocket, to remind him of what he's lost.'

Cesare

GAZELLE COULD NO LONGERhold her silence. "Are we really not going to talk about it?" She had been waiting for her brother to talk to her about what just happened, but all he had asked her in the past hour was if she wanted red wine or white.

"There's nothing to talk about."

"I know that'sher, Ces." Gazelle couldn't keep her voice from shaking as she remembered the stricken look on the other girl's face. "And I can't believe you allowed her to think I was your date."

"It doesn't matter what she thinks—-"

"Youhurther!"

"She'll get over it—-"

"No, Cesare. Shewon't.You broke her heart—-"
